"In today's game, I must win you!" When all the starters on both sides came on the court and began to prepare for the jump ball, Meng Xu found that Steve Nash, who was not far from him, was looking at him with an unkind face.

"Come on, then." After smiling lightly at Steve Nash, Meng Xu said in a very low voice, in the cheers of the audience, even if Meng Xu's voice was loud, Nash might not be able to hear it clearly, but Meng Xu believed that even if his voice was small, Nash would definitely understand what he meant.

"Then let me teach you a hard lesson." I don't know why, Nash hates Meng Xu's seemingly innocent smile with sunshine, obviously a ruthless guy, but he still likes to pretend to be innocent, in the words of Ron Artest, Meng Xu is a complete hypocrite. And what's even more annoying is that there are so many people who like this hypocrite, even his teammates, the best brother Dirk, have been deceived by this guy, and they never think that this guy is a bad thing, and they also say that they have prejudices against Meng Xu, and the more they think about it, the more angry they become, and one day they will expose his true face as a hypocrite.

As the referee's whistle blew, Nash collected his thoughts and turned his attention to the center circle, and Sean Bradley did not bring the slightest surprise to Nash, and lost the jump ball without any suspense.

After receiving the basketball from Jermaine O'Neal to the backcourt, Meng Xu slapped the basketball very slowly and advanced to the frontcourt, the Mavericks play small ball tactics, and the most effective tactic to deal with this kind of team is to control the pace of the game, slow down and play positional battles, and the Pacers are the team that is not afraid of positional battles, so as long as the game is dragged into positional battles and the Mavericks are not allowed to raise the speed, the Pacers will win at least half.

"Boy, I'm not going to let you pass me." After Meng Xu dribbled through the center circle, Antoine Walker, who defended Meng Xu, came up, and at the same time, behind Antoine Walker, Michael Finley was not far away and ready to wrap Meng Xu at any time.

Among these players of the Mavericks, if you want to say who hates Meng Xu the most, it is definitely Antoine Walker, as the former boss of the Celtics, since Meng Xu entered the league, Meng Xu has become a lingering nightmare in Antoine Walker's heart, first the Celtics wanted to trade Meng Xu with Antoine Walker at the peak, and then Meng Xu traveled east to the Pacers, the Celtics were beaten by the Pacers every year, after one failure after another, Antoine Walker was sent to the Mavericks by the Celtics, From the boss of the team to the fringe core of another team, all of this is thanks to Meng Xu, so like Nash's thoughts, after the Mavericks' historic break into the Finals, Antoine Walker dreamed of defeating Meng Xu in the Finals and killing the Pacers to relieve his hatred.

"How do I feel more and more like a villain now?" After saying a word to himself, Meng Xu slightly accelerated the speed of advancement, and Antoine Walker, who was in front of Meng Xu, after Meng Xu began to push forward, also slowly retreated behind him on the premise of maintaining a distance of about one meter from Meng Xu, and at the same time observed Meng Xu's every body movement very vigilantly.

Just when Meng Xu advanced to about a meter away from the three-point line, Antoine Walker quickly stepped forward and pasted it, and at the same time, Finley, who was not far from Walker, also began to wrap towards Meng Xu from the other side.

"Michael, wrap him up." Although Antoine Walker and Michael Finley had been arranged to double pack Meng Xu before the game, after the game started, Nelson Sr. couldn't help but shout on the sidelines. As a head coach who has always had thoughts about the championship, Nelson Sr. himself didn't know how long he had studied the Pacers, but after repeated research over and over again, Nelson Sr. came to a cliché conclusion, that is, to contain Meng Xu, as long as he can limit Meng Xu's offense and force him to pass, as for the rest of the Pacers' players, in Nelson Sr.'s opinion, even if they are released, it doesn't matter.

After a shout from old Nelson, Finley, who was still a little hesitant, immediately sped up, and cooperated with Antoine Walker to start pressing Meng Xu, although Antoine Walker's defense is not very good, but he has an advantage in height, as long as he can ensure that he does not lose his position, supplemented by Michael Finley's bag, Meng Xu wants to force the two of them, it is definitely very difficult, of course, Meng Xu can also choose to force a three-point shot in the case of a double bag, but it is unknown how many shots he can have.

Seeing that the Mavericks' double bag was in place, Jermaine O'Neal, who was originally near the free throw line and was about to block Meng Xu, had to continue to go up and run near the three-point line.

With Meng Xu's ability to control the ball, he was not stealing by Finley, so under the double package of the Mavericks, Meng Xu did not have any panic, but first chaired Antoine Walker sideways, and then blocked Finley who rushed over with his left arm, and at the same time lowered his body center of gravity to protect the basketball, he constantly observed the movement of the rest of his teammates with the corner of his eye, Mutombo under the basket has occupied a favorable position in the card position with Shaun Bradley, and Reggie Miller is taking Nash to keep walking circles, As for Tyshawn Prince, Meng Xu didn't see it, but it is certain that Tyshawn Prince, who is no longer guarded, must be in the bottom corner behind Meng Xu's side now, or in the process of running to that bottom corner.

Nash's defense itself is not good, let alone defending Meng Xu, who is almost misplaced, so after Walker and Finley took on the responsibility of defending Meng Xu, Nash was arranged by Nelson Sr. to defend Reggie Miller, but judging from the current situation on the court, Nash is very difficult to defend Reggie Miller, just following Reggie Miller for half a circle, Nash was thrown out of two positions by Reggie Miller.

Reggie Miller, who had already thrown off Nash, also saw Meng Xu who was being trapped, so Reggie Miller did not stop on the spot and wait for the pass, but continued to run like a step outside the three-point line, so that Meng Xu could easily pass the basketball to himself.

Meng Xu, who was about to turn around and force Walker and Finley, also saw Reggie Miller's series of races, so Meng Xu, who had already completed the half-turn, immediately gave up the plan to break through, and after slightly raising the center of gravity of his body, he took advantage of the situation to pass the basketball in his hand.

"Enter." Reggie Miller, who was one meter away from the left three-point line 45 degrees, after receiving Meng Xu's pass, threw the basketball without the slightest adjustment.

"Rick, I think Reggie has a few more years to play." When Reggie Miller hit a long-range three-point shot, assistant coach Lester Connell on the sideline bench jumped up instantly, applauding Reggie Miller while laughing at head coach Rick Carlisle, who was jumping up with the same excitement next to him.

Reggie Miller is now a well-known fact that he will retire after the end of the season, and at the age of 38, two championships, whether the Pacers can achieve a three-pat championship this season, Reggie Miller's career is complete.

"I think so too." After hearing Lester Connell's words, Rick Carlisle nodded in agreement, due to age, coupled with Rick Carlisle's deliberate control, Reggie Miller has played less than 60 games this season, playing a career-low 22 minutes, and his game form is also up and down. Perhaps because of the enough rest in the regular season, after entering the playoffs, Reggie Miller's condition is significantly better, the most obvious is the shooting percentage, compared to the 47% shooting rate and 38% three-point shooting rate in the regular season, Reggie Miller's shooting rate in the playoffs has exceeded 50%, and the three-point shooting rate has reached 45%, which is definitely a very incredible thing for a 38-year-old veteran.

Compared with the excitement on the Pacers' bench, the Mavericks on the opposite bench are deserted at the moment, and the Mavericks' head coach Nelson Sr., at the moment of Reggie Miller's three-point shot, his eyelids jumped sharply.
